KHNews BS. Florida has done better than New York and yet you praise the NY Governor.
KHNews I remembered was reporting on this constriction at the time. But FL still voted Republican on the backs of their own ill and dying.
KHNews HISTORY will remember How incompetence killed 175,000 American citizens in the monumental failure of tRump and lackeys! Never, in my lifetime t least, could or would I have ever imagined America being DESTROYED from its own supposed “leader” It’s insane to actually be watching!
KHNews And yet NY has ten times as many 'local health department' staffers and has three times as many coronavirus deaths than FL.
KHNews And they still didn't kill anywhere near as many people as Andrew Cuomo. Imagine that.
KHNews Florida dio not vote Republican if you want to live. If you want to die then you know what to do.
KHNews Crazy they have 1/3 of NY deaths
KHNews What happens to the people who lost their jobs? I've often wondered when I read these stories. Trump fired many people over the last few yrs also, DeSantis is trump's mini-me. Have other red states done this? Blue states? Certainly can't help the unemployment numbers.
KHNews Covid fire like NY?
KHNews And still has a better out come to covid than NY
KHNews Any articles on why Cali and New York are worse? Great partisan article...
KHNews Cuts were required to ensure that Governor Rick Scott had enough taxpayer funds to run for the Senate.
KHNews What was NY’s excuse? FOS ! Also Florida has one of the lowest death rates from the China virus!
KHNews So the spread of a virus is a direct correlation to a health dept budget? FL Health has a cure that could have prevented the spread? Journalism has become a dumpster fire. Covidiocy
KHNews Well if Florida was a Covid fire, then New York was a hurricane, a flood, typhoon, earthquake, and tsunami all in one. When is that criminal governor going to be held accountable?
KHNews Celebrate the Savings! Appreciate the Efficiency l blessed
KHNews Now do New York and California
KHNews It's how the GOP starved their health care. I know of no other cause, they want all the money themselves never enough.
KHNews Oh, go screw yourselves. Cases are declining rapidly in Florida and they have 1/4 the deaths per capita as NY

KHNews
KHNews Yet they still did better than NY and NJ 🤔
KHNews What's happening in Florida is genocide. Not genocidal. TrumpGenocide
KHNews Because of Democrats shutdown we see pain across America.
KHNews Stop with the fake news shit
KHNews And yet despite older population they did not massacre the most at risk older population like New York and New Jersey...why?
KHNews Floridians will have to blame their elected officials especially those that voted for such a ones that slashed their public health dept staffing.
KHNews There is no “Covid” fire here. The worst thing anybody can do is watch or listen to the news. And even worse than that believe the news is a big no-no. You all are full of shit you all are the real Pandemic. Nothing is on fire here.
KHNews Same here in Cali 🙂
YourRacingBelle KHNews
KHNews So it turns out slashing funding for public health to give rich people tax cuts is not a good idea. Color me surprised
KHNews Well, at least they rewarded this gutting by putting the ghoulish Governor who engineered it into the Senate. And then replaced him with a bowl of tapioca pudding poured into a cheap suit.
